They shouldn't. And in that case, it may be a better bet to get'em custom-bent at an independent muffler shop.

Try re-applying muffler cement first. And wear latex gloves while doing it, unless you wanna subject your hands to a whole lot of scrubbing :P

Why did he hardwire them? A thermoswitch can't cost more than like $30-50 and it's easy to replace. What an idiot. Anyways, I only know people in the GTA (west end) but I do know a couple of places where you can get a decent deal. I'd get quotes from them (just for the pump/belt) and then shop around closer to your place (with a ballpark price in mind), unless you intend to come to Toronto anyways. Check your PMs (since I don't wanna advertise shops that didn't pay their dues to mx-3.com) :)

edit: I'll pop the hood tomorrow and take a look at the thermoswitch, but if it's rigged the way they are on A2 dubs, it should be an easy 5 minute job. Maybe 10 if you need to reconnect the wires the way Mazda (R) intended them to be connected ;)
